IT was a small postcard sent one fine day in the late 1980s to the Directorate of Film Festivals which became N.D. Adam's passport to the International Film Festival of India. A straight and simple description of his passion for movies and his sketching skills was enough to convince the directorate. Since then every year the nondescript old man from Mumbai gets his invitation and every year, from January 10-20, he keeps his date with the movies. In between the five shows a day he also sketches the celebrity guests. His 500-strong sketch book is only growing thicker by the year featuring names as varied as Bernardo Bertolucci, Fernando Perez to Om Puri and Soumitro Chatterjee.
